Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportI wouldn't drive 7hrs from Idaho to run this, as someone on Youtube apparently did, but the water is beautiful on a hot day. The rapid with the overhanging branch at the beginning of the only fun section definitely requires a Class III maneuver. I've since been on this stretch with a Class II boater and she swam there – not to mention the entirety of the subsequent rapids.

Ran it at ~1850 CFS yesterday. Bigger and a little tight under some of the trees that normally are about 6 feet overhead. Lower section had some great play spots.

Ran it this morning at ~1100 CFS and it was great! Fun boating on a cool section of river.
